The output from flatcam has gcode commands for cnc milling. We will show you how to change these for laser plotting.
G0 is rapid movement. CNC z height will be above workpiece AND for laser beam is off
G1 is slow movemnt. CNC z height is in workpiece AND for laser beam is on
//begin
M3 S0 = laser on constant power, power 0%
F4000 = movement feedrate mm/min
// change command to lower cnc (ex: G01 Z-0.0020) mill into
S200 = power 20%
//change command to raise cnc mill (ex: G00 Z0.1000) into
S0 = power 0%
//at the end
S0 = power 0%
M5 = laser off
